Introducing: The Promethean Flame (A PJO Fanfic)
(Canon continuation | Post-Trials of Apollo (and The Sun and the Star) | 4-book series)
Hi! I'm H. L. Ferrier and welcome to the home of The Promethean Flame!
(Trying a new intro post because the original was my first ever Tumblr post and I'm not very happy with the tone 😅)
The Promethean Flame is set 7 years after the end of The Trials of Apollo and is meant to be a continuation of canon. In this series we re-enter the world of PJO and are reintroduced to existing characters (like Percy, Annabeth, Rachel, Clarisse etc.) who are now older and more mature. We see how they react when they are put into new situations and are faced with a threat unlike anything they've seen before!
📕 Themes and Genres
The main theme of the series is the evolving tensions between gods, demigods... and humans. It crosses multiple genres including action, mystery, and romance (even dipping its toes into STEM-flavoured romance).
👥 Main Characters
- Narina Lin (OC): A mysterious demigod with amnesia (its not a repeat of Heroes of Olympus though!)
- Adrian Vale (OC): A human scientist
- Rachel Elizabeth Dare, now twenty-six (and needs no introduction)
Percy and Annabeth aren't main characters but they still play major roles (and have some PoV chapters)! Expect a number of romantic scenes involving a mature and now-engaged Percabeth.
📖 Book I: To Be Mortal
30 chapters | 3 Acts (10 chapters each)
📍Currently Out Now on AO3!: To Be Mortal (New chapters every Thursday)
- Meet my 2 OCs and see how they force our favourite existing characters to reevaluate everything they think they know!
- See the lore of the PJO universe expand (and begin to fracture) as mythology meets human science.
- Witness the first steps towards a full scale Olympian civil war!
- Act 1 follows a slow-burn mystery arc. Act 2 is very romance-focused. Act 3 ties it all together and is the most action-packed.
Extra Notes:
- 🎨 Rachel plays a role in this book but is not a main character. She starts to take centre stage in the later books of the series.
- 👀 Each Act redefines the meaning of the title

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy my fanfic!
It all stemmed from an idea I had years ago when I was a child and reading the original PJO series for the first time, so this fic means a lot to me.
I'd love to meet fellow PJO fans, and chat about my fic or just PJO in general! So please feel free to say hi!
